Celebrity Status - Ch 9: One Last Kiss
I was going to post this one tomorrow for the @ladrienjune Day 2 - prompt, Gorgeous, but honestly that one is a little bit of a stretch. And I read caterinawrite's Ladrien June story (go read it! It's starting off so cute!!), and she felt empowered to write for prompts that aren't today. AND I just wanted there to more stuff out today on Day 1!! Because IT'S LADRIEN JUNE!!! And I'm excited!!
This chapter lines up nicely with Day 18 - Secret Relationship and Day 29 - Make Out. Like really well.
Chapter 9: One Last Kiss
Ladybug touched down softly on Adrien’s bedroom floor. He didn’t notice immediately, his attention on his computer screen.
She let herself just watch him for a moment. Locks of his hair fell out of place and into his eyes, just a less than perfect enough to be endearing. He was reading something and his expression was natural, resting, and just so relaxed. She rarely ever saw him like this.
She smiled fondly, and made herself knock on the window behind her.
He whirled towards her, his face lighting up like sunshine first creeping over the horizon in the morning.
Something in her chest twisted - something both warm and sad at once.
She loved him a little more each day. She didn’t want to end this thing that they had.
She had already lost Alya. Why did she give everything up?
And so she didn’t stop him when his arms circled around her waist, when his lips found hers.
He clearly meant for the kiss to be chaste - a sweet greeting to his quasi girlfriend. It was Ladybug who deepened it.
If she was only going to get one more kiss, she needed it to be out of this world. She needed to feel it in her toes. She wanted him to always remember it.
